Dolmen "Yet another system of lines detected in the countryside seems to have links with a worldwide form of geomancy less rigorously mathematical in its approach. We have noted while visiting megalithic sites all over Europe that they are usually, though not always, sited so that the countryside falls into certain patterns around them. The classic megalithic site is on a level platform part-way down a spur which runs from higher ground behind. From the site itself, a bowl or valley in the land will be noticeable below, while the horizon will be surrounded by ridges of hills which wrap around behind the spur. These hills will be seen to run along about three-quarters of the skyline, but the rest of it will be more open" (p. 33). Service, Alastair.
